Steve O'Dwyer wins WPT Denmark

Monday, 5 March 2012

It's fair to say that Denmark will be high up on Steve O'Dwyer's list of favourite holiday destinations. The American pro finished in seventh place at last week's EPT Copenhagen and followed it up with a win in the World Poker Tour event in the Danish capital.

O'Dwyer beat a Scandinavian dominated final table to pocket a first prize of DKK893,960 (around $160,000) to take the earnings from his Danish trip past the $200,000 mark.

This year’s edition of the unusual Groundhog Day holiday will take place in the United States this Friday and Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes are set to join in the fun with by running a commemorative poker tournament with $500 in the pot.

This Friday will see Australians from Perth to Brisbane marking the 230th anniversary of their nation’s official establishment and Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes will be getting in on the celebrations by offering a one-off online poker tournament featuring a $500 prize pool.
